Description
Build HTML5-based hybrid applications for Android with a mix of native Java and JavaScript components. This concise, hands-on book takes you through the entire process, from setting up your development environment to deploying your product to an app store. You'll learn how to create apps that have access to native APIs, such as location, vibrator, sensors, and the camera, using a JavaScript/Java bridge - and choose the language that gives you better performance for each task. With experience in HTML5 and JavaScript, you'll quickly discover why hybrid app development is an attractive option. The book covers setting up your environment with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript tools, creating your first hybrid Android project, and distributing it to Google Play and the online marketplaces Appstore. You'll also explore hybrid application architecture, including JavaScript/Java communication, single-page applications using JavaScript libraries like Backbone and Underscore, and optimization tips for CSS, DOM, and JavaScript.
